Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

“Gripping”

This motherfucker again

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity

Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.

Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

The far-right is in its pomp. We will have to fight for our values like never before.

These new video comment pieces are a bit snazzy. Here's me on the spending review.

Let us not forget “Where Eagles Dare”.

A thousand times this. “Do you need help with this email?” FUCK OFF. Patronising twunt.

This is what AI bloat is right now. Some interfering bastard thing jumping into your document to offer help you don't need towards a purpose it'll never understand. Jumped up paperclip cunt.

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

By coincidence I happen to be just round the corner... really disappointed that I missed this

Remarkable to see so many of those who talked up "Global Britain" in the pre and post Brexit fantasy now deliberately talking our country down and saying we can't move without US

For the first time in years, we look grown up, and whatever you might think of Starmer, then that's to be applauded.

Some might describe it as a “flush”.

Only someone with no understanding of liberal history would treat fact-checking and free speech as a binary opposition. The whole point of free speech is that it gets us closer to the truth. Where free speech has no purchase in the truth, its purpose collapses.

Prediction: Badenoch is going to try and pursue Musk's agenda in the Commons today, like the sad desperate attention seeker she is, and she is going to look a fool.

Just when you thought the Tories had hot the bottom of the barrel, they just punch right through.

If anyone doubted that Badenoch is an idiot, the Toby Young nomination confirms it. Just the shabbiest, most dimwitted option available and she jumped right for it.

*Best. FFS.

Beat starter pack so far. Crucial additions!
